Kevin Carson’s “The Rent is Still Too Damn High — Here’s How to Lower It” brought us our first eastern European pickup on Jan. 16 in Sagittarius News & Style Magazine (which covers Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Germany, and seems to be a companion publication of the distinquished Baltic Review); our first African pickup on Jan. 20 in the Malawi Nation; and ran in the Dhaka, Bangladesh New Age on Jan. 18.

Darian Worden’s “Wikileaks: Making Things Harder for Hillary appeared in Seoul, Republic of Korea’s JoonAng Ilbo, and made the leap from there to Yahoo! Korea, on Jan. 17.

This week, I submitted 10,212 C4SS op-eds to 2,788 publications. I added publications in the US, Guatemala, Guyana, Netherlands Antilles, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos, and the US Virgin Islands to my media lists.

C4SS commentaries have now been published on every continent except South America and Antarctica. I’m still working on those two (it’s possible that they’ve made it in South America and I’ve missed it!). By my quick and dirty count, they’ve appeared in 16 countries, 17 US states and two Canadian provinces (and in the latter two countries, de facto nationwide papers as well). I’m keeping an eye on, and working to raise, all of those metrics.
